You know when you are struggling to reach your goals? You start to think creatively..

Who's with me on this...weigh them and subtract that off the total. I only seen benefits in this for many of us...

Like the weight and height charts? Cup size allotments for deductions

Please?? :)

    If weight was something that really mattered, sure. I'd definitely qualify. I've heard that average is like 1-3 lb each?

    I have *heard* that it's 1 lb per cup size per boob.

    I have no evidence or references for this number. It probably came from a cosmo magazine when I was 18 and pissed off that I was 114lbs and wanted credit for my D-cups. Oh, the days.....

    It's not 1 lb per cup, per boob.. When I went to the dr's *years* ago now.. when I was only ahem.. 20. I was a 34 G. Each of mine weighted 8 lbs, according to the dr. His next line was "well no wonder you're having back troubles. You carry two bowling balls on your chest every day"

    I'm good at judging the weight of things by holding them in my hands. Just sayin'

    I don't get it- that's pretty close 7 letters, 8 lbs? margin of error? I'm actually asking for clarification, not to be snarky. And I'm def not arguing to support my number, as it's probably made up.

    Mine are now so pathetic that I doubt removing them from the equation would make a great deal of difference.

    It's a slightly silly topic yet a curious one..back pain is bothersome and frankly the scale does bother me on occasion...even more so during a long weight loss stall...just a nice 10 off the top..would put a spring in my step :)

    THIS would be awesome! I was told I'm carrying small bowling balls and thus why my back still hurts from a car accident a few years back.....oh the added pressure! :embarassed:

    I breastfed my daughter and she seemed to suck the life outta me... then working on losing weight... ugh...

    I agree... why is it the first thing some of us lose is our boobs when we lose weight?
    I'm gonna have to buy me some when I get to goal. Imma have nothing left!

    I could lose a good half a lb total if we weren't counting boobs :P so yeah! Let's make that a rule. Every little bit counts, hahaha.

    Ugh, I hope to lose in that area as I lose weight. Don't know why people pay to get bigger ones!
    Hate that I can't find decent shirts because they don't fit my chest.

    H cup??? whaaaaat?

    Yup! I was a H also! 38H. I've lost almost 30lbs, and seriously my boobs have hardly shrunk. I'm now in a 38DDD. I've always been huge, always. I am considering a breast reduction myself. I totally should take that into consideration. . . . if I lose even 3lbs off each that would be awesome! :)

    I know, right? Sigh. Always our own worst critics.

    I think it would be hard to make a formula based on cup size since the volume of a given cup size depends on the band as well.
    For example, the volume of a 32D is similar to that of a 34C.
